I remember them from watching the Peanuts specials but they didn’t sell them in my area. We were in Drakes/Hostess zone.
I liked when all the specials were on only once a year - Charlie Brown, Rudolph and all the Christmas specials, Wizard of Oz. We’d so look forward to watching them as opposed to kids now who can watch them whenever they wish. Takes away the magic.
@doschicos Funny Bones were my fav as well!! And Peanut Butter Tandy Cakes.
I loved those Lifesaver Books!!! I’ve tried to find rolls of Lifesavers as a travel/airplane candy - no luck. Just individual cellophane wrapped candies or bags, not easy to travel with rolls. Is this progress?
@HarvestMoon1 They just recently started selling TastyCakes in my state . I grew up on Peanut Butter Tandycakes, Jelly Krimpets and Butterscotch Krimpets.
@Momofadult Try buying some online if you are ever placing an Amazon order. The rolls are still available.
I always liked the tropical fruit flavors the best. So exotic for little 1960s me. 
Do you remember/did you like Bugles? They still sell them and I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I still love them. We used to put them on our fingers like witch’s claws. “I’ll get you, my pretty and your little dog, too!”
Loved Bugles.
Two things my mother refused to buy - Fluffernutter and Moon Pies.
Does anyone remember what i think were called “snowballs” - little cakes that had a pink marshmallow coating and were kind of shaped like a cupcake. They were sold at convenience stores.
Yes to the snowballs!
We always had Marshmallow Fluff around despite my mom being somewhat of a health food freak. I can’t believe flufffernutter sandwiches were considered lunch.
I’m still a sucker for anything marshmallow.
All this talk of sweets jogged another memory related to Halloween - trick or treating for Unicef with the orange cardboard boxes.

Tin foil on the rabbit ears and the excitement when we could pick up a new UHF channel.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman when they were broadcast a week before Christmas, not a week before Halloween.
Christmas time walking downtown looking at all the holiday decorated store windows in the stores, some with mechanical displays - we always made an evening of it, dinner downtown and a stroll.
I had the coolest game - the Green Ghost game. It had an elevated game board (it was mounted on small sticks), and underneath were mounted boxes full of feathers or rubber worms or “bones.” The cool thing was, the board glowed in the dark, and we played it in a pitch-black walk-in closet. Spooky!
My sister had “Mystery Date,” which was scary in its own special way.
I ** loved ** the Snowballs, probably because they were a pink color that doesn’t occur in nature. I would pull the pink fluff off and eat it separately from the chocolate cake part.
Also the fruit pies that had the different Peanuts characters on the wrapper and the foil-wrapped Ding Dongs. I grew up in Texas so they were Hostess brand and I think in other places they were called King Dongs. My mom was a health food nut before it was a thing, yet she would buy Ding Dongs for us as after school snacks. Twinkies were verbotten - too processed - but apparently Ding Dongs were suitable snacks. Go figure…
When my now-teenagers were younger and we went on car trips I would look for them at the various gas station convenience marts and we would get them as a treat so I could show them the junk food of the 1970s. Good times.
We drove by the Tasty cake factory on the way to my dad’s office. My mom would send TC packages.

Hostess snoballs are still available. We used to serve them at tacky parties. Anyone remember tacky parties? https://www.amazon.com/Hostess-Balls-packs-cakes-package/dp/B0027AWDO2
Growing up with TastyKakes meant (at least in our family) that Hostess products were never touched. I still find them disgusting, but I kill for TastyKakes. Limited varieties are available here in TN now. I always hit WaWa as soon as I get up to PA and get a lemon pie or a TandyTake.
@GnocchiB In my neck of the woods they were/are called Ring Dings.
I don’t think we ever touched Hostess products either, MOWC.
I still buy Marshmallow fluff and put it in hot chocolate. I ate Fluffer Nutter sandwiches well into adulthood. Love them!
